Surgical Clinics of North America, 2005
Controversy still remains regarding the appropriateness of THE asa cancer operation. Critics argue that without an en bloc mediastinal lymphadenectomy, THE does not provide accurate staging or the potential for a curative procedure; however, operative margins are similar after transthoracic and transhiatal esophagectomy, and van Sandick and co-workers ...

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) with cervical esophogastric anastomosis avoids thoracotomy and the potential for sepsis from an intrathoracic anastomotic leak. Knowledge of anatomy, careful attention to details of the operation, and good judgment toward patient selection will allow THE to be a valuable tool in the surgical palliation of esophageal ...

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2011
"Open" esophagectomy has been the standard of care for treatment of esophageal carcinoma against which evolving minimally invasive surgical, endoscopic, and non-operative therapies must be compared. In experienced hands and with appropriate patient selection, "open" esophagectomy can achieve good rates of cure with low mortality, acceptable morbidity ...

Complications After Esophagectomy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2019Esophagectomy is the mainstay for treating esophageal cancers and other pathology. Even with refinements in surgical techniques and the introduction of minimally invasive approaches, the overall morbidity remains formidable. Complications, if not quickly recognized, can lead to significant long-term sequelae and even death. Vigilance with a high degree

Advances in Surgery, 2008
The vagal-sparing esophagectomy is associated with low mortality, reduced morbidity, and improved long-term gastrointestinal functional outcome compared with standard esophagectomy. It is the ideal operation for the management of intramucosal cancers, Barrett's with high-grade dysplasia and end-stage benign esophageal disease.

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2015
Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. Attention to detail in many areas of perioperative management should lead to an aggregation of marginal gains and improvement in postoperative outcome. This review addresses preoperative assessment and patient selection, perioperative care (focusing on ...

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2012Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has become an established approach for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. In comparison with open esophagectomy MIE reduces blood loss, respiratory complications, and length of hospital stay. At the University of Pittsburgh, the authors now predominantly perform a laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis ...
